The Kano State Police Command has recovered two stolen vehicles in separate operations in Tarauni and Kumbotso local government areas. The recoveries were part of ongoing efforts to strengthen intelligence-led and visibility policing across the state.
According to the police spokesperson, Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, the stolen vehicles were recovered through swift and intelligence-driven operations. In one case, a Toyota Corolla was recovered in Darmarawa Layout, Naibawa area of Tarauni LGA, believed to have been left there by a suspected serial car thief who is still on the run.
In another operation, a Kia Optima was recovered in Ja’en Quarters, Kumbotso LGA, after it was stolen near a mosque along BUK Road. The police said officers from Sharada Division began investigations immediately after the incident was reported, and the vehicle was recovered with the help of members of the Zone 5 Ja’en Vigilante Group.
The Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, praised the officers involved for their professionalism and dedication to duty. He also thanked members of the vigilante group and the public for providing useful information.
The police believe the recovered vehicles are part of a larger syndicate involved in interstate car theft. Three suspects have been arrested in connection with a separate stolen vehicle, a blue Pontiac Vibe, which was recovered from an uncompleted building in Dutse LGA, Jigawa State.
The suspects, Shuaibu Abdullahi, Shuaibu Zakariya, and Abdurahman Ibrahim, are currently in police custody and have made useful statements. They will be charged to court upon completion of investigations.
The Kano State Police Command has demonstrated its commitment to tackling vehicle theft and other crimes, in line with the vision of the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Rilwan Disu.
The command urges residents to continue providing useful information on suspicious persons and activities, and to adopt basic security measures such as using steering locks and parking in secured places.
